Bitcoin (BTC) rose above $19,000 on Jan. 12, the highest level since Nov. 8. Although a bull market may not start in a hurry, Glassnode data suggests that the foundation for a macro bottom in Bitcoin may be in place. The on-chain analytics firm tweeted on Jan. 12 that “13% of the Circulating Supply” returned to profit when Bitcoin rallied to $18,200. This suggests a large phase of accumulation took place in the $16,500 to $18,200 range.
Along with Bitcoin, Ether (ETH) is also witnessing signs of accumulation. The number of Ether sharks, holding between 100 and 10,000 Ether, has risen by 3,000 since November 22, according to Santiment data.
